I always thought it was odd that the singer from Matchbox Twenty started writing tv shows. Now I know better.

Thank you wikipedia!

That an air stewardess once survived a freefall from a passenger jet blown up at 33,333 feet.

That no matter what, you should NEVER EVER look at the wikipedia page for 'Autopsy'.

I think you'd have to take a look at everything I know and work backwards to figure out what I didn't learn from wikipedia.

The Venture Brothers episode guides used to be pretty extensive....some asshole decided to take a scythe to them a little while ago because they had too much "original research" - which was contested - so maybe they're still awesome.

The only wiki article I've written was deleted :(

It was factually correct but didn't reference anything and there was no point to it.

I have absolutely suffered from that. I also experienced the effect when I was doing some painting work in a school for two weeks. When I was going to sleep all I could think about was painting a giant wall.

I learned way more than I needed to about the Star Wars and Marvel Universes.
